Ele was thoroughly enjoying the ride, taking pictures every so often and watching the world go by. She had never really thought that places like this actually existed, sure she had seen it in movies and TV, but those could be faked in a studio. What she saw in front of her was surreal, and Ele found herself wishing she wouldn't have to leave in just a couple weeks.

After a while though, Ele's eyes began drooping and she rested her head back on the headrest. The day had taken all of Ele's energy out of her, and her pain medication was wearing off so her head was beginning to pound again. Closing her eyes, Ele let the rocking of the truck, music, and warmth lull her into sleep.
